VW in their wisdom and no doubt to save a few pence no longer fit two under bonnet trims on the FL California. One on the drivers side and one on the passenger side which covers the battery compartment.
To fit the one on the battery compartment you'll need -
Cover 7E0 119 515A - £11.74 + VAT
Clip 7M3 915 428 - £0.50 + VAT
The offending opening -
The van will likely be fitted with an intermediate filler piece like this -
To remove this simply undo the plastic cross head screw visible at the front and lift it out.
Fit the clip 7M3 915 428 into this opening near the outside edge of the slam panel where the font wing meets the headlight -
Left is the previously fitted filler piece, right is the new battery cover -
Fitting the battery cover is simply a case of aligning it with the edge of the battery box and screwing up the two cross head plastic screws.
The finished article which I'm sure you'll agree looks much better -
